I actually like some aspects of OSX as an OS but being tied into proprietary overpriced hardware turns me off. I don't need shiny or fashion just functionality.Originally posted by AtW View PostI installed iTunes overbloated tulip for my iPod and it started crashing machine (Windows XP Pro): uninstalled promptly and all works fine.

No point in getting into arguments about which is better, Linux is the mainstay of home and work computing and I'm perfectly happy with a terminal and command line. I have Windoze and OSX boxes to play with when required. A dual boot Linux / Win netbook and smartphone (soon to be replaced with a Nokia N900), is all I need for mobile computing.Comment

I'm far more interested in someone telling me they use Linux than a Mac.
I use Linux - rebuilt my laptop today on Linux Mint 8 64bit
And my desktop machine upstairs runs Ubuntu 9.10 - no problems so far, which is a touch better than WIndows 7 which crashed at least three times a day.
